Citron Fromage

This is a Danish dessert and this is the simple way to make it.  I loved eating this growing up.  I love the summertime lemon taste with the light fluffy texture.  I have loved seeing my daughter love it and ask to have it.  Scott has also come to enjoy its refreshing taste.  I have messed it up and had it separate too soon, but it was still delicious to eat. (My guests were kind enough to still try it). :D

1 small (3 oz) lemon jello (Mom and Dad say it must be Jello brand)
1/2 C water, boiling
2 lemons
1/2 orange (or 1/3 C orange juice)
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1/4-1/2 C sugar
2-3 drops yellow food coloring (optional)

Dissolve jello in 1/2 C boiling water.  Add juice from lemons and orange.  Partially set it in refrigerator (put in freezer for a faster partial set).

Place milk in mixing bowl and put mixing bowl and whisk attachment for mixer in freezer.  Freeze milk until slushy or ice crystals form.  Beat milk until peaks form (2-4 minutes) then slowly add up to 1/2 C sugar.  Beat until stiff. 

Then fold partially set jello mixture into milk mixture.  Place in bowl or dish you intent to serve it from.  Chill to finish set.
